Big Buck Update: Wisco’s 244-Inch 27-Point Buck is “100% Legit”

This incredible whitetail was killed in Waukesha County, Wisconsin, last week. It sports 27 points and gross-scores 244 inches, making it one of the largest nontypicals ever killed by a bowhunter in Wisconsin. (www.whaletalesarchery.com)

A southern Wisconsin taxidermist today confirmed that the buck you saw here on Deer & Deer Hunting last week is a “100 percent legit wild whitetail.”

“We even had a DNR biologist come out and examine the buck,” the taxidermist said. “He aged him at 5-1/2 years old.”

Out of respect for his privacy, D&DH is not naming the taxidermist at this time.

News of this buck, an incredible 27 point nontypical, spread like wildfire when several photos were posted on the Whale-Tales Archery website.

The lucky hunter, who has yet to grant public interviews, shot the buck with his bow and arrow. Wisconsin’s bow season opened on Sept. 14.

Deer and & Deer Hunting has reached out to the hunter in an attempt to publicize this incredible deer, which could easily become the new Wisconsin state record bowkill (nontypical category).
